Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2005
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
33 Publicity for complaints procedures
(1) A listed authority must take reasonable steps to provide information to the public about— (a) the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman in respect of the authority, (b) the right of the authority to refer a complaint to the Ombudsman, (c) the time limits for making and referring complaints to the Ombudsman, and (d) how to contact the Ombudsman. (2) In particular, information about the matters specified in subsection (1) must be included in or provided with— (a) any document published by the listed authority which contains information about— (i) relevant services provided by the authority to members of the public, or (ii) the procedures of the authority for dealing with complaints, and (b) any document issued by the listed authority in responding to a complaint made to it by a person who might be entitled to make the complaint to the Ombudsman. (3) The Ombudsman may issue guidance to listed authorities with respect to the discharge of their functions under this section. (4) A listed authority must have regard to guidance given by the Ombudsman under subsection (3). (5) “Relevant service” has the meaning given in section 7. (8) This section applies to a care home provider (see section 34R), a domiciliary care provider (see section 34S) or an independent palliative care provider (see section 34T) as it applies to a listed authority. (9) But in its application in accordance with subsection (8), the reference to “relevant services” in subsection (2)(a)(i) is to be read as a reference to the matters to which Part 2A applies (see section 34A).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
